It's a conspiracy!

President Obama's campaign mastermind suffered a humiliating end to his political career today as the British Labour party he was paid almost $500,000 to help to victory plunged to a catastrophic defeat.
David Axelrod had been touted as the man to get Labour's Ed Miliband into - and the Conservative prime minister David Cameron out of - Downing Street.
Instead he slunk out of Britain early, as his former Obama campaign colleague Jim Messina, who advised the winning Conservatives, crowed over a victory which had 'stunned the world'.
Axelrod had already vowed that he was 'done with campaigns' after complaining bitterly about the British media and saying: 'Anyone who underestimates Ed Miliband does so at their own peril.'
In fact he appeared to have dramatically over-estimated the Labour leader, who quit this morning saying he took responsibility for the defeat.
Today tweeted that polling was to blame, saying on Twitter:'In all my years as journalist & strategist, I've never seen as stark a failure of polling as in UK. Huge project ahead to unravel it.'
And the famed pollster Nathan Silver was also humiliated by the British election, with his forecast for the result, like every other opinion poll, completely wrong.

Humiliation for Obama's election guru in his last campaign: David Axelrod sees Labour shellacked after selling them his advice for nearly $500,000 (then blames the pollsters)
Couldn't happen to a slimier creep.
I can imagine the look on Obama’s face.
Priceless!
As it should be.
When you absolutely need something to fail, hire Team Obama.
That’s OK. He still got the last laugh defeating Netanyahu!
Oh, wait...
My thoughts exactly!
......as his former Obama campaign colleague Jim Messina, who advised the winning Conservatives, crowed over a victory which had ‘stunned the world’.
Looks like it wasn’t a complete fail for team Obie. :(
Corrupt/wrong polls right before an election.
Now image how corrupt/wrong polls are in this country long before an election.
Yet, yesterday somebody here was breathlessly citing The Huckster's small move in the polls 9 months before the primaries.
It's a conspiracy!
Maybe the polling is messed up because the international left and its media stooges are drifting further and further into left wing Nah-Nah land.
Heh. Turncoat Messina. Wonder if he’ll manage an R in ‘16.

If he can’t get a Black candidate over which the media can have orgasms and use their influence to get him elected, he’s not much good, is he?
It’s tougher to win an election when you don’t have the adoring American MSM doing the work for you. Even tougher if you don’t have the voter fraud mechanisms in place beforehand.
David Axelrod in private:
“It wasn’t a fair election! The British don’t let dead people vote!”
But another OBama guy, Messina, was on Cameron’s team. As I understand it, this wasn’t one-sided out of the WH like Israel. There was no real losing for BO.
British voters love to diddle the pollsters and punters. Oslima the Musselman should have known that and stayed well away. Now he's all splattery. 😆
I could tell that it was going to be a bad day for Axlerod when yesterday, he was whining about how unfair and vicious the news media was. Translation, the press were not going to be carrying Axlerod’s/Labour Party’s water.
Priceless.....
